Selecting the proper location for your washer improves
performance and minimizes noise and possible washer "walk."
Your washer can be installed in a basement, laundry room,
closet, or recessed area. See "Drain System."
IMPORTANT:
Do not install or store the washer where it will be
exposed to the weather.
Proper installation is your responsibility.
You will need:
A water heater set to deliver 120°F (49°C) water to the
washer.
A grounded electrical outlet located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of
where the power cord is attached to the back of the washer.
See "Electrical Requirements."
Hot and cold water faucets located within 4 ft (1.2 m) of the
hot and cold water fill valves, and water pressure of
10-100 psi (34.5-690 kPa). 20-100 psi (138-690 kPa) for best
performance.
A level floor with a maximum slope of 1" (2.5 cm) under entire
washer. Installing the washer on carpeting is not
recommended.
A sturdy floor to support the washer weight (washer, water
and load) of 315 Ibs (143 kg).
Do not store or operate your washer in temperatures
at or below
32°F (0°C). Some water can remain in the washer and can cause
damage in low temperatures.

Additional spacing should be considered for ease of
installation and servicing.
Additional clearances may be required for wall, door and floor
moldings.
Additional spacing of 1" (2.5 cm) on all sides of the washer is
recommended
to reduce noise transfer.
If a closet door is installed, the minimum air openings in the
top and bottom of the door are required (C). Louvered doors
with air openings in the top and bottom are acceptable.
Companion appliance spacing should also be considered.
The washer can be installed using the standpipe drain system
(floor or wall), the laundry tub drain system, or the floor drain
system. Select the drain hose installation method you need. See
"Tool and Parts."
Standpipe
drain system - wall or floor (views A & B)
The standpipe drain requires a minimum diameter standpipe of
2" (5 cm). The minimum carry-away capacity can be no less than
17 gal. (64 L) per minute.
The top of the standpipe must be at least 39" (99 cm) high and no
higher than 96" (244 cm) from the bottom of the washer.
